Introductory Remarks 




N this, the Fourteenth Edition of the 
Utopia Yarn Book, you will find 
many exceptionally novel ideas for 
Knitting and Crocheting, embody- 
ing a carefully selected line of the very latest 
creations of Sw^eater Coats. All the new^ and 
most delightful garments and articles illustrated 
throughout this book ow^e a great deal of their 
charm to the fact that they have been worked 
with Utopia Yarns. Their excellence lies 
not only in their softness, elasticity and even- 
ness of thread, but in the variety of styles and 
brilliant color lines as well. To secure the best 
results in the Art of Knitting and Crocheting, 
only the best yarns should be used. We there- 
fore recommend this book (for instructions) 
and Utopia Yarns to attain this end. There 
is a Utopia Yarn for every purpose. 



UTOPIA YARN BOOK 



The Recognized Manual of Knitting 
and Crocheting 



To avoid committing the error so frequently 
made of publishing a lot of directions that are 
difficult to understand, or which mvolve an 
amount of labor all out of proportion to the 
result attained, we have employed a well- 
known expert to write the instructions in the 
Utopia Yarn Book. 

Every one of the standard stitches is so 
clearly illustrated and the directions are so con- 
cise and to the point, that the novice will have 
no difficulty in understanding them, while the 
great number of novelties illustrated make the 
book of unusual interest and value to the expert. 

Full and explicit instructions are given right 
from the making of the stitch to the completion 
of the finished garment, while the styles selected 
in every case are such as afford an excellent 
return for the work involved.
